*_Embracing Singleness: Growing Closer to God in the Waiting_*


If you find yourself in a season of singleness, know that God has a purpose for this time in your life. Loneliness can be challenging, but it can also serve as an opportunity to draw closer to the Lord and grow in your faith. Embrace this time as a chance to become the person God wants you to be while waiting for the right person He has prepared for you.


It's essential to be aware that Satan may try to exploit your feelings of loneliness to distract you and lead you astray. *Temptations may arise, but remember that God is with you and will provide a way out* (1 Corinthians 10:13). *Don't let impatience or insecurity lead you to settle for an unequally yoked relationship.* Trust in God's timing and plan, for He knows what is best for you.


Use this season of singleness to seek the Lord wholeheartedly. Matthew 6:33 reminds us to *"seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."* As you focus on growing in your relationship with God, you will find contentment in His presence, and He will bring the right person into your life when the time is right.


Remember, you are not alone in your singleness. The Lord is always with you, and He understands the desires of your heart. Psalm 34:18 assures us that *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit."* In your waiting, lean on Him, seek His guidance, and allow Him to mold you into the person He created you to be.


As you trust God in your singleness, remember that He loves you unconditionally and has a beautiful plan for your life. Isaiah 54:5 reminds us that *"Your Maker is your husband, the Lord of hosts is His name."* So don't fret or worry about the future. Instead, use this time to grow in your faith, serve the Lord, and draw nearer to Him.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
